Nagios Support Forum

Hello team,

I want to upgrade NagiosXI 5.5.9 to latest version (5.6.10) offline.

I have downloaded "xi-latest.tar.gz" , and the server has the following yum repolist:

!rhel-7-server-extras-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Extras (RPMs) 1,190
!rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Optional (RPMs) 17,914
!rhel-7-server-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs) 24,539
repolist: 43,643

Is it enough to complete the Upgrade without internet connection?

Our documentation for doing this is located here:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... onment.pdf

You cannot convert a "normal install" to an "offline install". The only way to do this is via a backup and restore.

Thank you,

I noticed that offline tarball nagiosxi-5.6.10-1.el7.x86_64.tar.gz is different than xi-latest.tar.gz.

Correct, they are the same product but delivered and installed differently.

Dears,

I did offline upgrade as per document, but after finishing the upgrade the version still the same on GUI "5.5.9"

could you please help?

Double check the installed version with:
And try restarting the Apache service if that shows up to date:
Otherwise it sounds like it didn't complete the upgrade. Were there any errors when you went through the steps? Try running through them again and provide any errors that it may produce.

Hi,

attached a file of upgrade output.
I did a reboot but still the same.

mariadb seams to be the issue

Make sure you're running this as root and that you can write to /var/tmp/.

Hi,

I am upgrading as root, but /var/tmp has noexec, I will set it to exec.

now how to redo the upgrade without losing database or cfg files.

these rpms have been installed after the upgrade , and doing upgrade again will do nothing (since they are latest)

You cannot convert a "normal install" to an "offline install". The only way to do this is via a backup and restore.

backup/restore document says:
"The version of the fresh install of Nagios XI that you are restoring to needs to match the version of Nagios XI
that the backup was taken from. For example:
Backup was created on Nagios XI 5.2.2
The server you are restoring to must have Nagios XI 5.2.2 installed on it."

so how would I restore from backup taken from older version on new upgraded version?
